TUBEROSE, DOUBLE. 



Any one may grow the Tuberose with certainty of flower- 

 ing it, if the following conditions are observed: In buying 

 bulbs be sure that the flower-germ is sound, for on'this 

 point depends success, for if that has decayed, all the at- 

 tention and care bestowed upon them will be of no avail. 

 They must never be planted in the open ground, in the 

 vicinity of New York, before the 20th of May. In planting, 

 remove all off-shoots from the sides of the bulbs, and plant 

 about four iDches deep. Bidbs planted under these con-
